I must admit, like the other reviewers, the decor and cozy feeling was very inviting and charming, but unfortunately, the food fell short for me. My family and I were doing the obligatory walk around downtown Nassau when we stumbled upon the restaurant. How the dishes are described (including ingredients) on the menu and what appeared on my plate were,... More

We wanted to stop for a drink whilst walking around Nassau - we couldn't find anywhere nice until we almost walked past Van Breugel's - it is hidden away up a little street off the main shopping road. Beautiful old colonial biulding with lovely balcony with tables and dining room and bar inside. Excellent service, delicious cocktails and the food... More

To give you an idea of how much my husband and I enjoyed this restaurant, we ate here two times in three days. And we left Nassau at 11am on day three. Everything was so enjoyable here. The service was super attentive and incredibly friendly. The food was delicious with all of the things you would hope to find on... More

I was walking around Nassau and hoping to stop in for lunch off the beaten track so I wouldn't have to see car traffic and tripped on Van Breugel's on Charlotte Street. This delightful old world restaurant is up a few steps and has a porch like a veranda, very colonial looking, and I sat outside away from the hustle... More

Set in a grand old house Van Breugel's makes for a relaxing and charming dinner spot. Chef Tanya's presentation and preparation were hugely impressive. Our waitress, Michelle, was incredibly attentive. Service was fast and efficient, but we were not rushed. Dining here was a highlight of our eleven day visit.

Clean, convenient restaurant in downtown Nassau. Food was decent, with very large servings, but the service is so slow.
